What we fit in Welshpool
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Welshpool, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
How the work is organised
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Bollards and door protection in Welshpool: your questions
Can bollards at our Welshpool site be replaced after a strike?
Yes. Damaged bollards and guards can usually be replaced individually. We check the fixings and the slab around them first, because a bent bollard often loosens its anchors or cracks the concrete at its base.
How much do bollards cost to install in Welshpool?
Our guide price is £125 to £445 ex VAT per installed bollard, depending on size, material and fixing. Guide-rail guards and buffers are £345 to £1,495 per door. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey in Welshpool.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Welshpool?
Usually a few hours per door for base-plated bollards and guide guards. Bollards set in foundations take longer because of coring or excavation, and are often fitted out of hours to avoid disrupting traffic.
